Emmett took on the challenge of learning to playing Minecraft on the PC with the mouse and keyboard.. See how he did..

The poor little guy has really been struggling this week. Thank God Christmas is over and we can start to get back into our routine. He had so much fun and excitement this holiday that he simply became overstimulated.

There are few things in life that I truly hate,  getting up at 5am is something that I absolutely detest.  My kids are in the routine of getting up at or before 5am each morning.  It's so completely unnecessary to get up at that ungodly hour and yet they do. My day began with Emmett around 4:30 am and it continues without reprieve as Elliott has now joined us.  I'm so tired and the day has only just begun.......  This site is managed almost exclusively from my Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Please forgive any typos as auto-correct HATES me. ;-) Follow @Lost_and_Tired "Like" me on Facebook Visit the My Autism Help Forums To reach me via email, please Contact Me

Check out today's picture of the day. :-)

Our next step is to get him to his rheumatologist. It's possible that we could be looking at Fibromyalgia, as it's not unheard of in children and certainly more common than just about anything else he's already got going on

I've spent the last few days revitalizing my site and making it more esthetically pleasing and user friendly. Several changes have taken place, both on the back end and front end.

Today's been one of missing sleep. Lizze and I are really, really tired and boys are really, really full of energy. This is not a good match right now but we are making it work..

It matters not, whether the excitement be of a positive or negative nature. Kids with mental health issues like Gavin, can and often will, decompensate under these circumstances. We've seen it happen countless times with Gavin and to be honest, with his health issues so significant, we sometimes forget the fine line he walks emotionally.
